Default Is there a difference between . . .

Vellum paper and vellum cardstock? If so, where can I find vellum cardstock?

Stampin' Up! does (or did) carry both. The paper is VERY thin. The cardstock is thick enough to use as a card base, but you can still see what is underneath. I prefer the cardstock, but it depends on your project.

Hope that helps!

Anyone know if any other source carries vellum cardstock?

I just googled vellum and it lists a variety of on-line companies that sell various vellum products.

Papertrey Ink sells both, she even included pictures. It's about halfway down this page: http://www.papertreyink.com/pb_paper

Thanks so much for the info! Up until I saw it referenced on one of the threads, I had never heard of vellum cardstock. I think I might have to get some!

The vellum cardstock curls alot less than the paperweight.

I got a pack of the paperweight, and once I opened it, I don't think I ever used it. It's super thin.

Michaels carries the Paper Company vellum in 12x12, and it's a nice weight. Probably not cardstock weight, but definitely heavier than SU's paper weight.

I do use the paper weight of vellum. It works fine in the C-Bug (actually pretty cool, too) or I will sometimes print a quote or design on it from the printer to attach to the inside of a card, and the vellum paper works fine. I just figure there are some pretty cool stuff I could do with the vellum cardstock as well.
